I made back home for the holiday weekend and fished East/Middle Jefferson and German. Saturday morning began throwing a buzzbait and caught two largemouth each 14″ then it was like the switch was turned off at 7:00 am. I tried just about everything in all types of depths and cover and went 3+ hours without a bite. I finally texas rigged an Ugly Monkey (pumpkin) and caught a 18″ on my first pitch to some emergent weeds/reeds. I went about 10 feet and caught another, then proceeded to put six more fish between 15-18 in the boat in less than 1 hour. I don’t know if it was purely timing or finding the right cover/depth/bottom that was holding fish.
Sunday morning started on East Jefferson alternating between a buzzbait and a Pop-R. Caught one fish right away then nothing for about an hour. I idled around until I found some emergent veggies with clean/sandy bottom and pitched the Ugly Monkey. I started catching fish, although most were 11-14″. All in all it was a great weekend to be on the water and finally stumbling onto a fish catching pattern Saturday was great and being able to somewhat duplicate it on Sunday was even better.
